Product Measurement and Sizing Guide

 

Measurement	Details
1 - Seat Depth	Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg
2 - Back Height	Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.
3 - Rear Seat to Floor	Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat
4 - Hanger Angle	Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular
5 - Seat Width	Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant
6 - Wheel Camber	Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.
7 - Front Seat to Floor	Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled®
8 - Footrest Width	Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests
9 - Center of Gravity	Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.
10 - Seat to Footrest Length	Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.
11 - Backrest Angle	Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump

9000 Topaz Manual Wheelchair by Invacare Buyer’s Guide

The 9000 Topaz Manual Wheelchair by Invacare is a heavy-duty bariatric mobility solution designed specifically for users who require extra stability and generous seating dimensions. Engineered to deliver exceptional durability without sacrificing comfort, this wheelchair accommodates higher weight capacities while remaining manageable for transport and daily propulsion. It serves as a dependable standard for individuals seeking enhanced structural integrity in a manual mobility device.

Topaz Reinforced Carbon Steel Frame

The foundation of this wheelchair relies on a rugged, reinforced carbon steel frame with double crossbraces. This specific construction allows the Topaz to safely support weights up to 700 pounds or 1,000 pounds, depending on the chosen configuration. The heavy-duty frame is engineered to resist flexing under maximum load, ensuring a more efficient transfer of energy during propulsion and providing the user with a reliable sense of security.

Bariatric Ergonomics and Seating Dimensions

Designed with the specific anatomical requirements of bariatric individuals in mind, the chair offers seat widths and depths that range significantly beyond standard industry dimensions. The front rigging attaches at points that optimize leg placement, while the overall frame geometry places the user in a stable position over the rear axle. This intentional design helps distribute weight evenly across the heavy-duty seat upholstery to protect skin integrity and reduce fatigue.

Manual Propulsion and Custom Axle Options

As a completely manual mobility device, the wheelchair gives the user or a caregiver total control over movement. The rear wheels are equipped with heavy-duty dual-sealed precision bearings that allow the large handrims to turn smoothly under significant weight loads. Additionally, the frame design includes a dual axle position adjustment, which allows the seat-to-floor height to be altered to accommodate personal preference or foot-propulsion needs.

Heavy-Duty Components for Daily Longevity

Every component of this chair is built to withstand rigorous daily use. The front casters are widened and reinforced to handle transitions over rough surfaces or doorways without bowing. The heavy-duty flame-retardant nylon upholstery features an internal liner that prevents stretching over time, maintaining a taut and supportive surface for the back and seat cushion. These materials ensure long-term reliability and minimize maintenance requirements.

Invacare Signature Compatibility and Adjustments

Built by a trusted leader in medical equipment, this Invacare chair benefits from a wide ecosystem of compatible accessories and interchangeable parts. Caregivers can choose between desk-length or full-length padded armrests, which are removable to facilitate safe lateral transfers. The front rigging options include elevating leg rests or swing-away footrests, allowing users to customize the lower chassis for maximum comfort and physical support.
